AT the CHURCHES.
Avariety Of ofinteresting and Proflta
BILE Services Sunday.

+ K & 80 !
The services at the NJ. L. church
were especially interesting. In the
forenoon the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Clark
whose term of service has expired.
preached with special reference to the
work of the year. Several persons
We're received into the church at the
close of the morning sermon. The
pastor in his report stated that during
the past two years over ninety persons
had united with the church, by certifi-
cate of membership and on profession
of faith. The church has during this
time been self supporting, paying its
pastor liberal salary and contribute
ing largely to the missionary and other
general interests of the church at
large. Extensive and valuable i'm
provements have been made upon the
building making 1t one of the most at
tractive church edi6ces in South
Dakota. It is to be hoped
that conference can see its way clear to
assign Mr.. Clark to this place for an-
other year, as he has been a faithful
and efficient worker in all fields and
has been especially valuable in those
directions that tend to elevating the
moral tone of the community. In the
evening the fifth anniversary of the
Sunday school was celebrated with an
entertaining program of addresses,
music and recitations. The historical
review was especially interesting and
showed q steady and healthy growth
of the school from its organization.
This branch Of the church has en-
joyed great prosperity. 1t now has a
large attendance, q fine library and all
the modern appliances for a success
ful work. Altogether the pastor and
people alike have abundant reason for
gratitude for the past, and hope for
the future.
Rev. A. Watson, of Minneapolis, be-

W.T.. yERNON'S TRAGEDY.
rrisntful Death Of a Little
Daughter Of Vim. Dunton.
The Old Story of Carelessness
With a Loaded Shot Gun.

supt. III. l.. Bras, who came over
fam Mt. Vernon, Saturday. brought
the particulars of the fatal shooting of
an eleven year old daughter Of VIM.
Duncs1, by her little brother, Friday
forenoon. Mr.. Dunton lives in what
is known as the Tobey house, half a
mile east of Mt. Vernon, and at the
time the accident occurred was at work
an his timber claim. with the other
members of the family except the lit
tle girl, a boy six years old, and the
baby.
About o'clock, according to the
boy's account, he went into a bedroom
and picked up loaded gun standing
there, saying he guessed he would
shoot some chickens. His sister fol-
lowed him in to prevent him taking
The gun out, and in attempting to take
it from his hands. the weapon was dis
charged. 1t was heavily loaded and
the charge struck the unfortunate girl
full in the face, tearing away her
tongue and lower jaw and putting out
her eyes. She fingered in fearful
agony for several hours barely able to
breath. The boy rushed after his
father at once, and when the latter
saw the awful sight he went well-nigh
distracted. A physician was sum-
moned from Mt. Vernon, and a num-
Der of citizens went out, but of course
nothing could be done.
Coroner Tatman went to Mt. Yer
non yesterday afternoon to investigate
the case, but the facts are doubtless
about as stated by the boy.

Some Contradiction.

Fargo Argus: The reports upon the
presidents reception of the Dakota
delegation at st. Paul are trifle con-
flicting. The western papers contained
dispatches announcing that delega-
tion of Dakotans, headed by Governor
Church, was granted the place Of hon
or, while the newspapers of Chicago
and New York state that Dakotans
were most terribly snubLed, but finally
q few gained hurried audience with.
the president. Which is right? It's
hardly possible that both reports are
correct.

What Gen. Allen Saws.

Pioneer Press: Gen. Allen is now
before the people of Dakota as can
dldate for delegate. 1t would not be
at all discreet for him to air his views
to any great extent on Dakota matters.
He is republican and poses as such,
and while he says little about Dakota
affairs, he goes over the record of the
president and saws that another acci-
dent like that OF 1882 will never happen
to Grover. Mr. Allen says that he has
nothing to recommend him, either in
his private or public record. for the
honored place he now occupies.

Business before Politics.

Planllinton Standard: James Foster
OF Mitchell, was in town the first of
the week on real estate business. He
stated to the writer that he would
rather have Blaine or Sherman for
president with change in the U U.S.land
office than to have Cleveland reelected
with crank Sparks at the helm in the
land office. Business and the general
welfare of Dakota hasthe preference

Huronite: Both local option and the
division question are to be voted upon
the same day, at the same election, but
they have no relation to each other.
The voter who favors division may
vote for or against prohibition as he
chooses, and the advocate of prohibi-
tion may do the same regarding the
question of division. The two propo-
sitions together form no part Of any
party platform, and ought to be coli
sidered as entirely unrelated to each
other. Be justa little careful to have

To the Irish Voters of the Ninth
Ward-In regard to the rumors that
have been circulated during the past
week to the injury CT John Kerr, who

as we were neighbors to the above

A fatal accident occurred Tuesday
afternoon. John Lee, employed in the
lumber yard of H. F. Brown, at the cor

While he was doing this the horses
started forward and the heavy load
pitched forward on his head and
shoulders. As quickly as possible the
load was removed, but the man was
dead, having expired instantly.

O'Gorman, president of st. Thomas
seminary. who was assisted by Rev. j.
J. Keane, Rev. N. Mahoney and Rev.
P. 81. Clark, in the presence of large
audience, secular and religious. Father
O'Gorman addressed the candidates in
impressive words on the vocation to a
life of charity in the cloister, and point
ed solemnly to the duties and RESPONSE
bilities arising from the invitation of the
Good Shepherd and the graces which &C.
companied it. Following are the names
of those who received the habit of the
order. On entering on convent life a
lady receives a new name, connected
with some hallowed association, by
which she is afterwards to be known in
the community of the sisterhood. They
were:
Miss Maloney, st. Paul, in religion,
Sister NJ. of the Immaculate Concep-
ton; Miss Callahan, St. Paul, Sister NJ.
of the Holy Innocents; Miss Stack, New
York, Sister NJ, of st. Teresa; Miss
Kyne, New York. Sister NJ, of the An
nunciation; Miss Nellie McAlinden,
Montreal, Canada, Sister NJ, of st.
Ann: Miss Julia McAinden, Sister NJ,
of st. Elizabeth.
According to the custom each of the
candidates wore full bridal costumes
and the ceremonies were especially in
teresting to all who witnessed them.
The success of the order has been in st.
Paul, as elsewhere, beyond all expecta.
ton. The House of the Good Shepherd
is at present far overcrowded by peni-
tents who seek therein a haven. The
space of the buildings as we'll as the
energy of the sisters is overtaxed. The
accession of the ladies lately received,
with an addition to the building which
the superioress, Rev. Mother NJ, of st.
Bernard, hopes to effect this summer,
will enable the sisters to extend still
further the helping hand to the frail,
and to open yet wider the portals Of
charity to the fallen and the outcast,-
